Baby Boomers: Growth through acquisition, opportunity and threat
The UK is approaching a major exit crunch. Baby Boomers own 37% of UK businesses, rising to 66% when including owners aged 50+, many of whom will seek to exit at the same time. For CFOs, the risk is clear: without early value creation, most businesses will fail to attract buyers and face costly solvent liquidation. As organic growth is unlikely to deliver £1m+ EBITDA and an attractive multiplier, this session explores how CFO and Accountants should take the lead to help owners execute a successful buy‑and‑build strategy to build value and enjoy a successful exit in a buyer’s market.
